In The Trenches with Dave Lapham, presented by First Star Logistics, dives deep into the heart of Cincinnati Bengals training camp as the team powers through the grueling "dog days" of summer. Legendary Bengals offensive lineman and broadcaster Dave Lapham joins Dave Berk to break down a practice filled with intensity, standout performances, and a scuffle that put the entire team on notice. As the Bengals gear up for their second preseason matchup against the Washington Commanders on Monday night, the competition on the practice field has hit a fever pitch. Lapham was on hand for a session where the defense emphatically announced its presence, with veteran center Ted Karras admitting, "The D kicked our ass." This sentiment echoed throughout a practice where the defensive front consistently won its battles. A major catalyst for the defensive dominance has been the arrival of defensive tackle T.J. Slaton. A former fifth-round pick of the Green Bay Packers, Slaton has been a disruptive force since joining Cincinnati. Lapham notes that Slaton was a "huge factor" and "very disruptive" on a snap-by-snap basis. His performance is a welcome sight for a Bengals team looking to bolster its interior defensive line. Slaton's connection with new defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery, who coached him in Green Bay, appears to be paying early dividends for the Bengals. Lapham emphasizes that Slaton is not just making plays but is also bringing a veteran presence and leadership to the defensive unit. The intensity of camp boiled over when rookie defensive end Shamar Stewart, after being knocked off balance, made contact with quarterback Joe Burrow, sending him to the ground. While the contact appeared unintentional, the offensive line immediately responded, with guard Lucas Patrick getting into a scuffle with the rookie. Karras reinforced the offensive line's protective mentality to reporters after practice, stating, "Gotta protect No. 9... that's all of our hopes and dreams right there." Lapham explains that these moments, while tense, are a natural result of the competitive fire that builds during camp as players tire of hitting the same opponents day after day. Despite the incident, Lapham sees immense potential in Stewart. The first-round pick from Texas A&M, who had a lengthy holdout before signing his rookie contract, is starting to flash the talent that made him a top prospect. With Myles Murphy sitting out of practice, Stewart has been given more reps and is making the most of the opportunity to get acclimated after his missed time. Lapham believes Stewart has the chance to have a "big rookie year" and that his athleticism is evident. The conversation also touches on the "hold-in" trend across the NFL, with players like Trey Hendrickson, Cameron Heyward, and Micah Parsons all seeking new contracts while still being present with their teams. Lapham provides his perspective on these situations, noting that while it's a business, the ideal scenario is to have these key players fully participating to build chemistry and get into football shape. He points out that while these players are in meetings, they are missing out on the physical conditioning that only comes from on-field reps. As the Bengals look ahead to their Monday night game against the Commanders, Lapham stresses the importance of correcting the mistakes made in the first preseason game. The key to preseason development is showing improvement and eliminating mental errors like false starts and illegal formations. With a few extra days of practice leading up to the game, the Bengals have a prime opportunity to refine their execution and continue building a roster capable of making a deep playoff run.

“I didn't know those agents were on your team.”That's the best compliment Ben Schreiber's received recently. It came during a conversation with a couple of agents in his team's market.Why is it a compliment? The model behind his real estate team is all about the agent, not about him. He wants them running their businesses their way - including logos, marketing, and branding. It's an example of what it really means to build an agent-centric team—and what it looks like in practice, not just in theory.In this episode, the team leader of Service Plus RE and a former college tennis player and coach breaks down the philosophy, structure, and leverage behind their 25-agent, $70M-volume organization, a top-ranked team in Kentucky.Ben shares why he started a team rather than a brokerage, why he didn't name the team after himself, why he's obsessed with meeting agents where they are (whether they want to sell 6 homes a year or 40), and the three pillars are of his model (culture, support/implementation, and wealth building).Watch or listen to this conversation with Ben for insights into:How to make “agent-centric” a strategic operating principle, not just a buzzwordWhy coaching agents, like coaching tennis players, must be individualizedThe five staff roles on their 25-agent, $70M teamWhy the team isn't named after Ben and why he prefers a “Wizard of Oz” roleHow kaizen and EOS help improve your businessWhy he doesn't refer to splits and what he calls them insteadThe four things he wants agents to be doing and how that guides the leverage he providesThe level of control agents have over their marketing and branding (spoiler: it's a lot)How the team helps agents with wealth building (including their Agent Success Plan)The five core values that power team culture (integrity, service, innovation, collaboration, fun)The three readiness factors behind buying a home and joining a team or brokerageAt the end, get drive-by on the Cincinnati Bengals, University of Illinois tennis, 1990s sweatshirts, and … this show!Mentioned in this episode:→ Kaizen https://kaizen.com/what-is-kaizen/→ EOS episode https://www.realestateteamos.com/episode/eos-principles-scale-faster-real-estate-harvey-yergin→ eXp Team Leader Academy https://life.exprealty.com/exp-realty-team-leader-academy/→ Andy Mulholland episode www.realestateteamos.com/episode/mastering-real-estate-business-financials-andy-mulhollandConnect with Ben Schreiber:→ Ben at ServicePlusRE dot com→ https://www.serviceplusre.com/Follow Real Estate Team OS:→ https://www.realestateteamos.com→ https://linktr.ee/realestateteamos→ https://www.instagram.com/realestateteamos/

In this episode of Ready, Set, Bet!, Matt Brown and Mike Somich talk about Sunday's MLB slate and they discuss NFL futures.

Welcome back to "In The Trenches with Dave Lapham," presented by First Star Logistics! As the Cincinnati Bengals push deeper into their 2025 training camp, the initial excitement gives way to the grueling reality of the NFL grind. Dave Lapham was on hand for the weekend's practices and provides his expert analysis as the team enters what is notoriously known as the "dog days" of training camp. In this episode, Lapham joins Dave Berk to break down the key takeaways from the practice field. Right off the bat, Lapham is incredibly impressed with the readiness of the Bengals' primary offensive weapons. He asserts that Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Chase Brown look like they could play a regular-season game tomorrow. Their sharpness, understanding of the offense, and phenomenal physical condition are on full display, signaling that the core of this high-powered attack is primed for a big year. Lapham goes as far as to say he believes this 2025 Bengals roster, from top to bottom, has the potential to be the best in the entire National Football League. A major focus of any Bengals discussion is the offensive line, a unit that has been under scrutiny in recent seasons. Lapham provides a nuanced perspective on their progress. He discusses the coaching staff's strategy of moving players around to different positions, emphasizing the critical importance of versatility. In the modern NFL, the ability for a lineman to play multiple spots—like guard and tackle, or on both the left and right sides—is invaluable. This not only creates depth but also forces players to elevate their technical understanding of the game. Lapham draws on his own extensive career to explain how mastering different positions is a hallmark of a long-term, successful player. He gives a special mention to younger players like Jalen Rivers, highlighting how this cross-training is essential for them to secure a roster spot. On the defensive side of the ball, Lapham identifies a couple of position groups that have pleasantly surprised him with their depth and talent: the defensive ends and the secondary. He notes that the Bengals have a significantly larger number of athletes ready to compete at an NFL level in these areas than in recent years. This abundance of capable players is creating a fiercely competitive environment, pushing everyone to elevate their game. Lapham is particularly impressed with the mindset of these players, who are not just physically gifted but are mentally prepared for the fight, day in and day out. The conversation also turns to the topic of injuries. While minor injuries are an unavoidable part of any training camp across the league, Lapham reports that the Bengals appear to be managing them well. He suggests that the current ailments are minor and shouldn't cost any key players significant time once the regular season begins. The medical and training staff are being cautious, ensuring that minor issues don't escalate into major problems, a testament to their proactive approach to player health. A spotlight is shone on safety Tycen Anderson, who is taking advantage of increased reps to prove he's more than just a special teams ace. Lapham describes Anderson as a highly intelligent and competitive player who is "thirsting for more." His desire to understand the intricacies of the defense and his constant questioning of the coaches' schemes showcase a player with a high football IQ and a drive to become a significant contributor on defense. Finally, Lapham offers a deep dive into the psychology of surviving the dog days of training camp. He explains that this is the period where mental fortitude is just as important as physical conditioning. The long days, the repetition, and the physical toll require a professional mindset focused on recovery, proper nutrition, and rest. With a Monday Night Football preseason game on the horizon, the Bengals face a long week of work, providing a perfect opportunity to instill game plans and test the team's focus before they face a short week leading into their final preseason contest.

Join Dave Lapham and Dave Berk for an in-depth analysis of the Cincinnati Bengals' 34-27 preseason-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field. In this episode of "In The Trenches," presented by First Star Logistics, Lapham breaks down the highs and lows of the Bengals' first game action of the 2025 season. The story of the night was the tale of two quarterbacks for the Bengals. Joe Burrow was in mid-season form, delivering a spectacular performance that had the hosts buzzing. Burrow finished his night an impressive 9-of-10 for 123 yards and two touchdowns, earning a stellar 157.5 quarterback rating. Lapham notes that Burrow's excellence in practice has clearly carried over, stating he's "preparing and bracing himself for a phenomenal season." His accuracy was on full display, with Lapham remarking, "he is so accurate, he puts the ball in the tightest spots." The connection between Burrow and his star receivers was electric. Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins were running "unbelievably precise routes," and the chemistry they've built with their quarterback was evident. Lapham emphasizes the trust Burrow has in his targets, particularly highlighting the performance of tight end Tanner Hudson, who caught two touchdown passes, one from Burrow and the other from Desmond Ridder. However, the narrative shifted dramatically once the first-team offense left the field. The backup quarterbacks, Jake Browning and Desmond Ridder, struggled to find a consistent rhythm. Browning went 6-of-14 for 62 yards with an interception, while Ridder was 7-of-16 for 91 yards and a touchdown. Lapham points out the stark difference in performance, acknowledging the significant drop-off from a quarterback of Burrow's caliber. On the defensive side of the ball, there were notable concerns. The Eagles' offense found success on the ground, rushing for 132 yards and averaging over four and a half yards per carry. Lapham notes that the Bengals' defense, under the direction of Al Golden, had trouble containing the Eagles' rushing attack, allowing for some "big gaps to run the football in." He did, however, see some positive flashes from the rookie class, including defensive lineman Shemar Stewart, who he believes "has star power." The special teams unit had a mixed bag of results. Evan McPherson was a perfect two-for-two on field goals, including a long of 51 yards, a positive sign for the veteran kicker. The return game also showed promise, with Jermaine Burton and Gary Brightwell providing some exciting returns. In this comprehensive breakdown, Dave Lapham provides his expert insights on individual player performances, offensive and defensive schemes, and what the Bengals need to work on as they continue through the preseason.  This is a must-listen for any Bengals fan looking for a detailed and knowledgeable perspective on the team's first outing of 2025.
